What have you done to your ride lately?

[TacoXpo]

Changed out my OME fronts for Icon res fronts.

Too bad I don't still have a shop. You need something like a spacer on the top of that tower so that the open C design of their top hat.

Stopped by a less desirable Wallymart for some oil filters and coldbeer leaving the South side of San Ant, all I can say is that I feel truly blessed

Sorry, I don't follow. What would that do for me?

Played against a South side team in high school, thought they were gonna start shooting our bus. We was deep in the barrio

IIRC, it helps add strength to the top hat of the shock. @TacoXpo has one on his Icon coilovers after the tophat broke on him.

Ah, makes sense.

And broke on many. I have a number of friends that have hosed a coil bucket with Icon's and one Bilstien design that has that open C design.

Bucket Failure

The Icon C top hat failure

different deal but another example of the weak bucket.

 

[TacoXpo]

It also illustrates the real need for proper bump stops.

I don't have a picture on hand but what I did was water jet .500" steel rings that I mounted on the top of the coil bucket to strengthened the coil bucket. When I see my truck, I will snap a picture.

 

[Texoma]

I wonder if I can take a top hat to a fab shop and have them jet me something.

 

[TacoXpo]

I don't think you need to. I think a steel spacer would be fine.

 

[Silverback]

I have a set of the Wheelers 10mm spacers out in the garage not doing anything. I would give them to you but I just went and checked, they are aluminum. I think steel is your best bet here.

 

[TacoXpo]

I would agree. I found one .500 steel doughnut as I described. If you want it, send me your address. You'd have to find another so it's not the best solution.

You're probably right. Maybe later

After you fuck shit up? $65 and a quick install or ??? I'd skip on the later.

Drilled some holes in the roof. Fuck the roof is thick in the drip rails. Probably 1/2" or more.

I will get some better pics this week but it's up and mounted. Very secure and really pleased with how it turned out.
